Actionrconline

[TribulationStaff]

This would be nice to have, just an edit of the actionplayeronline code.

It isn't that hard to emulate this.

Debatable. Since RCs don't trigger an actionplayeronline, you'd need to loop through all the players every x seconds. Problems:

1) Much less efficient than if an actionrconline feaure were implemented.
2) What if the person logs in and out quickly enough to avoid the loop?

You're right Kaimetsu, but I have never
had those problems.

How can they be avoided?

And what's with the line breaks?

Are you asking me how I would avoid the
problems you stated using the current
scripting technologies?

And what's with the line breaks?

I'm using Mozilla on RedHat 9 and for
some reason it messes up when I get to
the end of the text box. So I have to hit
<enter>.

Just one more reason that Linux is better than Windows.

Perhaps one more reason that a certain installation of a certain version of Mozilla on a certain version of Red Hat isn't better than the majority of installations of the majority of versions of Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Netscape on Windows.

Yes.

NPC Code:

---

if (actionplayeronline) {

  for (i=0;i!=allplayerscount;i++)

    with (players[i]) 

      if (strlen(#F)<1)

        setstring thiso.rcs,#s(thiso.rcs),#a;

}

I just typed that up so there may be
spelling mistakes, but other than that it
would work just fine, wouldn't it?

Sure, if RCs triggered actionplayeronline. Which they don't.

The point is that things like this don't often happen when using Windows.

Perhaps; however, they do not necessarily often happen with Linux either, when there is but one occurance of this with one type of browser on one version of Linux to base that statement upon.

You could edit to where when a RC signed
on all s/he has to do it type '/npcON' and
that would work.

But if they did not type that, then the action would not be triggered.

-What if the intended effect was something the individual RC did not want?

-What if that RC did not have NC?

[tlf288]

Then you could make it so the RC has to
PM the NPC-Server. I don't really see why
you guys are asking me this, though.

[TribulationStaff]

That is still not an automatic way to do it.
